[s-cars] electrical question

[Dave Forgie]

The problem may be that you need to change the way the HID ballasts are wired so that they are connected directly to the battery (via a headlight switch-controlled relay).  Somehow, you need to mitigate the voltage drop that the CD changer is seeing (even without the silver transceiver box, there must be a similar voltage drop = turn off CD player effect).  But hey, what do I know?  Dave F.

Well, I don't have a "silver transducer" as I have a 97 with the custom  
Alpine unit.  So, the question is then, where would this capacitor go?   
Inline with the positive power feed to the CD player?
